Adjustment period. My Mom used to say you’ll never truly know a person until you’ve lived with that person. J and I have been boyfriend and girlfriend for 12 years before we got married. We never had any majorly fight. Oh, we fight alright! But oftentimes, we fight over simple things. J is a type […]

We moved in to our new room (finally!) 3 days ago. It took some time before I got used to my new routine. I had to go back a couple of times to our room whenever I go to the bathroom or kitchen because I always forget something. I have to rummage on a pile […]

It’s been 2 days since I’ve moved out of my flat. I went back to my old flat yesterday morning to get my other stuff and to leave my keys to the owner and I was feeling melancholic already. As I was walking the path towards my old flat, the sight of the park and […]

Finally, I’m moving out to a new flat with my husband. It all came too suddenly. One room was vacant in my friend’s/colleague’s flat and she just innocently asked if I knew a couple who is looking for a room to rent and I quickly volunteered myself. And she gave it to me at a […]

I’ve been married for…(counting) 18 days to be exact. But I still don’t feel like I’m married. Is that normal? Well, for my part, a day after the wedding, my husband had to drop me back to my flat because I have to go to work the next day and he had to go back […]

Phew! I got married. Did I really? Well, that’s what I felt after we said our vows, put the rings on our fingers, and kissed. Is that it? I felt a kind of tingle when we’re both gazing into each others eyes while saying our vows, but was a little bit distracted when Gemma and […]

One week to go. I’ll be working 4 days then on the 5th day, we need to go back to the Philippine embassy for verification and confirmation. That’s the day when if a would-be married couple doesn’t appear, it means the wedding is off. Great. That would leave me plenty of time to think. Kidding! […]

Oh, what the heck. Jess and I went out the other day going from one restaurant to another to book an after-the-wedding party only to find out that the date we prefer is already booked. Dilemma. It must be a sign! Don’t invite anyone on your after-the-wedding party! Right. So we went to this all-you-can-eat […]

I’m getting married. Yes, after 12 years of long distance relationship. I didn’t even think we’d survive that long. It wasn’t easy. But see, the universe has finally brought us together. Does that mean we really belong to each other? I’m used to us being apart. Now, I’m still trying to get used to us […]

In the hospital where I’m working, I’m friends with everybody: nurses, cleaners, pantry ladies, laundry boys, maintenance staff, lab techs, rad techs, etc. I learn a lot from them. They have a lot of stories to tell. (No, I’m not a gossip mongrel! Seriously!) It’s just nice to be friendly with everyone. One time, I […]
